The Darkness Queen

Chapter 15:~Wedding~

Elora stood in her room as the servants started to dress her for her wedding.

A long veil

A silvery tiara

And a pair of silver wedding ballerina shoes.

And her ladies put up her long blonde hair in a braid. And her closet lady noticed that The Princess was shaking a little.
"Elora, are you afraid?,"Her closest lady Elva asked.
And Elora swallowed, "I don't know,"
"You're strong,"Elva smiled,
"You can do this,"
And they went out of her room against The great hall.
Elva was wearing a white long dress as well.

(The great hall)

Everyone stood in the great hall. And Elrond smiled at Thranduil. Finally their families and Kingdom's would be reunited.

Elladan stood at the altar, waiting for his bride.
And suddenly, Elora came walking against the altar in her wedding dress and veil.
And Elladan held out his hand to her.

Elora gave the flowers in her hand to a maiden and looked at the crowd in the room.
And she noticed Ilitri among them. Even though no other except she could see him. And he nodded at her and disappeared.

Elora turned to Elladan and held out her for him to take.
Elladan took her hand and they knelt before the elven priest.
They made the vows and stood up.

Elladan put the ring Elora's finger. And Elora did the same for Elladan.
And they kissed and turned to the guests in the hall.
And Elora glanced at her husband before she turned to look at Ilitri who stood in a corner, smiling at her. And she swallowed.

(A while later at the wedding feast)

Elora went over to her brother. Her veil was removed and she was only wearing the tiara, necklace and earrings that she had chosen to match with the white wedding dress she was wearing.
"So, how do you feel?,"Legolas asked his sister.
"Well, I'm married to someone I barley know and I'm afraid there will be many secrets in our marriage until I feel like I can trust him,"Elora explained.
Legolas sighed, "You're thinking about your powers, don't you?,"
And Elora sighed, "My powers are a gift Legolas, but when I lose control, they can be a burden,"
And Legolas sighed and put his hand on her shoulder, "I won't let anything happen to you. I promise,"
Elora smiled. And suddenly, Lord North entered the hall.
"What is he doing here?," Elora muttered angrily.

And she stepped forward, smiling,
"Lord North, what brings you to Mirkwood?,"
"Elora, you have married a very high elf,"North began, "Livia won't take this as something good for you. She will take it as a threat. She will declare war against the rest of middle earth,"
And Elora looked at him angrily,
"I am a woman and a fighter who will stop at nothing to take back her throne. Only one Queen can survive!... And I intend it to be me!,"

(Flashback, Liva)
"Stop pretending you don't understand!,"Livia exclaimed,
"Elora and I are are rivals, by blood, by history, by men's power who's tied to us and will always be so! We're not just rulers, we're pawns in a much larger game! As long as Elora lives and breaths neither of us is safe! Only one Queen can survive! And I intend it to be me!,"

(End of flashback)

Elora looked up at North,
"You may tell your Queen that I'm ready. It's time we find out who's the rightful Queen of The Light Kingdom!,"
And North bowed and left. And Elora straightened herself. The Final battle was coming. And she knew it. Soon, she and Livia would be fighting against each other with their powers and weapons. And one would officially become The Queen of The Light Kingdom.

And Elora felt Legolas hand on her shoulder. And she smiled at her brother. The final battle was coming.

(Later that night)

Elora sat in her and Elladan's temporary room in a white silvery nightgown.

Emersion had told Thranduil to have a another room ready for Elladan if the wedding night didn't go as planned. Thranduil hadn't clearly understood what the wizard had meant by that but had made another room ready for Elladan.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Elladan entered the room and closed the door behind him, "Elora, you alright?," And Elora swallowed, "I'm fine. Just nervous," And Elladan nodded, "About wedding night? Elora, I promise, I won't do anything to hurt you,"

And Elora stood up and went over to him, "I know. But...," And Elladan smiled, "You don't have to be afraid. Just tell me, and I'll stop," And Elora smiled and Elladan slowly kissed her lips deeply and Elora laid down in the bed with Elladan on top of her and Elladan kissed her again when Elora suddenly remembered the night Kadir had raped her and she quickly put her hands on his clothed chest, "Please, stop, I can't," And Elladan nodded and sat up and stood up, "Did I do something wrong?," He asked confused as Elora sat up the bed, "It's not you. It's me. I just can't do this. Please go," And Elladan sighed and swallowed, "Of course, as you wish, Your Grace," And he left the room and closed the door behind him.

Elora felt tears running down her cheeks and she started crying and she laid down in the bed and cried herself to sleep that night.
